That's pretty remarkable, when you think about it. Both schools have had periods of 'under achieving' (hard to call .733 under achieving, but it really was) yet still have won frequently enough to remain at the top. I find that very telling.

Before you label the Zook years as "underachieving" be sure to look at UF's record BEFORE Spurrier.
They're the Wisconsin of the SEC.
